Do
you know why some houses have tin roofs or some painted black? Why do
outdoor athletes mainly were bright colours while performing/practising (white,
cream, yellow)? The fact is that some colours tend to absorb more
heat than others. Scientific experiments have proven that dark surfaces
tend to absorb more light while shiny, bright surfaces reflect the heat
energy. Why not try out this small experiment to see if this is
true? Materials Needed : 2 identical jars filled with equal amounts of cold water 1 sheet of black paper and 1 sheet of shiny, foil paper 2 thermometers Light Source (Eg. Small Lamp)
How did this
happen? So next time you are going out to play or going on vacation, make sure you wear the right colour clothes! |
